Dr. Wilner merged her interests with neuroimmunology and digital medicine in a new IRB approved study to investigate the use of digital wellness applications with the MS patient population. Her interests have developed toward teaching and leadership as she hopes to continue guiding residents and medical students while also expanding the use of holistic care for patients with neuro-immunologic disease to maintain their independence and physical abilities.
Molly shares, “My interest in patient education, reproductive health, and my desire to help patients maintain their independence and physical abilities lead me to pursue a career in neuroimmunology. I am hoping to continue to teach residents and medical students and expand the use of holistic care for patients with neuroimmunology diseases.”
When Molly is not supporting clinical patient care, she enjoys going to concerts and live performances. Her favorite summer activity includes kayaking on Lake Quinsigamond.
